All last winter i worked on the truck after i bought it to get it ready for summer. Then i spent the summer fixing all the unknown issues so it would operational to the point i could drive it and enjoy it.

This week i have put more miles on it than i have in the last three months and i love it. Stopped in at my favourite coffee shop yesterday and snapped this pic.

I have been driving our 55 for most of the week and so far no major problems, lots of rattles and such but it goes down the road nice. Had the front end rebuilt, new rear springs, new seats, had the 700r4 hooked up properly seems to be working ok. no pics yet will try this weekend.

Got an new set of aluminum valve covers off the guys at "The Speed Shop" on ebay. Came with gaskets, allen bolts and grommets. I had a inexpensive chrome set on the engine for the last 3 years, and they never did seal correctly. These should seal up better and look good as well!

Been doing final body work so I can shoot the blocking primer (again). Last night while removing back fender it got away from me and I dropped in on the only part of the spear that I had not had to work on. Could have cried, getting that crease right has been a major hassle, now I get to do it some more.

Bought it ,a 1959, So now my 58 step side will have a sibling rivalry. Had to just put it in storage for the time being, till I get the 58 on the road. Plus ,with storage fees at $160 mo. , a little motivation to get the 58 legal, City code inspector would be like a kid in a candy store if he saw two of them sitting in the driveway.

Made some seat brackets for my 1957. I have the seats from my 1995 Chevy Blazer that has a rod knock and I will be installing them into my truck. I installed gussets on the brackets for strength and so most any seat can be installed.

Went to the swap meet in our home town of Monroe, wa bought a really good shape tail gate for my 1958 GMC stepside truck for 85 bucks and bought some COE headlights that are like new for 50 bucks don't know why but I did. Oh almost forgot then I picked up a complete rolling napco frame with tranny and the case with spare front end and rear end for 1200 buck
